• Take it from a Londoner, Corbyn is right about de-centralisation

    Last week, Jeremy Corbyn, speaking at the EEF Manufacturers’ Organisation, announced that he would curb London’s power if he ever became Prime Minister. This shouldn’t come as a shock. A “fundamental shift” in the country’s economic policy has always been one of Corbyn’s most appealing promises, but a move...
  • Album Review: Tonight Alive – Underworld

    From the rollicking guitars and explosive chorus of opening track ‘Book of Love’, it’s clear Tonight Alive are ditching the pop elements that dominated much of their third effort Limitless, to return instead to the alt-rock of the fantastic 2013 The Other Side.

  • Album Review: Maroon 5- Red Pill Blues

    Following the release of their seminal breakthrough record Songs About Jane, Maroon 5’s career has been a mixed bag. For every major hit (‘Moves Like Jagger’), there’d be forgettable filler (‘Daylight’), and some of their best songs (‘Payphone’) have been marred by unnecessary rap sections. And as the band...
  • Oversaturation: A Star Wars Story

    Last night, Disney announced that they would be releasing not only a live-action Star Wars series, but also an entire new trilogy, separate from the Skywalker saga. But with The Last Jedi just around the corner and Solo: A Star Wars Story (yes, it really is called that) set...
